slingshot
Description
The Slingshot was a semester project at the University of the Arts with some kindly support from the Frauenhofer Institute (material research).
There´s some important facts underneath the surface, so any further details on the project will be posted as soon as possible... :)

Slingshot
light + sleak
Slingshot is a city-bike which will be completely sleak and clean, without any unnecessary cables or chains comming out of the frame.
Made out of lightweight materials like carbonfibres and combined with boxed items like an internal gear + dynamo-hubs as wel as LED-lights the Slingshot will be extreamly easy to drive and to kept clean.
The big advantage of Slingshot is the single frame, which saves time + money during manufacturing process, also together with the fibre reinforced materials it eases production and maintainance, too.

the process - adding workable proportion to the bike
the main concept of the bike: the fibre reinforced material have some 'bump' zones integrated, so less parts needed in assembling the bike, less maintainence is needed indeed, too!- the process - clay rendering

- slingshot - the 'bump' zones, with shockabsorbing foam inside the frame, so u wont swing endlessly!
